I'm so sad to see you go. I will miss you more than I can say.
You've been such a great inspiration to me and you were the one that gave me the courage and encouragement to start writing. Why oh why is it all the sound ones like yourself and Scott that we're losing? I wish you all the very best Tony and it was great meeting you.

It was an absolute pleasure meeting you too and I'll still be checking in every now and then to read a few posts, yours among them.
If I did provide some inspiration for you then that in itself is all I need to know to know my time here was well spent.
It's one of those situations where you do what you need to rather than what you might want to. It's for my own good. :)
I kept the post pretty short and to the point as I didn't feel the need to explain myself but if I'd expanded further I'd jave taken the time to thank a handful of people individually and you would have been one of them. If you're up for it I'd like to keep intouch somehow. :)
It really all started for me with your invitation to do the A-Z art challenge. Without your encouragement and assurance that writing also qualified as art, I'd never have dared to undertake it, and without feeling that if I gave up I'd be letting you down, I'd likely never have completed it. I'm certain that I'm not the only one who feels like that either. You're a good 'un Tony, and there aren't many like you. And I say that with over 50 years of dealing with people under my belt.
If you ever find yourself this side of the sea I always have a spare room for you. Steemit chat where we spoke before seems to be gone but I'm on the isleofwrite discord and my mail address is [email protected].
You may remember I had no picture to share with you when you were kind enough to share yours so here is one my brother took a few weeks ago for a freewriters interview just so you can recognize me when we meet;)
